Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run LLaMA-65B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

LLaMA-65B on the Intel Gaudi 3

FP16 no โ€” โ€” โ€”
Q8 yes 156k 32.9-40.9 t/s ~0.4-0.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 243k 58.8-73 t/s ~0.6-0.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run LLaMA-65B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~58.8-73 tok/s and fits up to 243k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.6-0.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 243k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
